Message: <blockquote data-quote="hafrogman" data-source="post: 4449910" data-attributes="member: 8858">[sblock=Law, Chaos, Dream and The Dreamer]The world is a thing of Law.  Each and every thing operates according to a system.  The sun rises, the seasons turn, that which rises, falls.  These laws are immutable, and to attempt to change them would be to struggle against all of Law at once.  And yet, Chaos still exists, outside of the world, seeking a way in.For while all physical things may be governed by laws, the mind of man is not.  Free will is the way in which Chaos may influence the world of Law.  The actions of people who chose their own path are unfettered by Law.  Their deeds may be limited, but their minds run free.  And thus, Chaos seeps into Law.Where Law and Chaos touch, they form a third . . . Dream.  Chaos corrupts the world, and produces a middle ground, where everything may seem to be as it should, until it suddenly is not.  Nothing is fixed, but enough remains recognizable to ensure that one does not gaze upon the madness that is pure Chaos.  The ability to dream is what sets people of free will apart from the beasts of earth, sea and sky.Most people are only lightly touched by Chaos, and dreams come only when they slumber.  But those who are steeped in Chaos follow a different path.  Some are unable to cope, and the Chaos destroys from within, breaking the laws of the mind, and driving the poor souls into irretrievable madness.  Others fight the Chaos within them by releasing it into the world.  The dreamblades take their Chaos and give it shape through the force of their own will.They may use their powers for good or ill, but all still rightly fear them.  The world still remembers the terrors of the Dreamer, centuries later.  One small boy, locked in an endless sleep, a pure gateway for Chaos.  Completely removed from reality, the imaginings of a human mind ran rampant across the land.  Some areas escaped relatively unharmed, but many were instead torn asunder by nightmares unwittingly made real by the Dreamer.The land was wracked with darkness, fear and despair until a single warrior of law was able to find his way to the boy, and do what was required to end the nightmare.A dreamblade may be a good soul, but all Law-abiding folk rightly live in dread of the potential that may be locked away inside them.  All fear another dreamer.[/sblock]</blockquote>
